Love and Decay
2023
My darlingmost Ana was the luckiest find
So much more than merely a hottie
Today I find I’m in love with your mind
And I cherish you more than my body.
Down the longest roads,
Up the mountain highs
The loudest laughs,
And the deepest cries
My truest friend,
With whom time flies
Better to have Ana,
Than a set of eyes.
We feed the crows,
We watch some shows
We sit on beaches,
As the chilly wind blows
I could spend the afternoon,
My fingers between your toes
Better to have Ana,
Than a working nose.
I have been yours,
For nearly ten years
Lately we have cried
Small buckets of tears
Although I still carry
My hopes and fears
Far better to have Ana,
Than a new pair of years.
For nearly ten years,
You have been mine
In that time we have had,
Full glasses of wine
And though for a cure,
I would not spare a dime
I would never trade Ana,
For a spotless spine.
The path that we travel,
Is full of curves
We move along smoothly and—
Suddenly it swerves
Although some might say,
I get what I deserve
I would rather have Ana,
Than tumorless nerves.
I don’t need a doctor,
Although I’ve been told
I don’t want grandkids,
I’ll never get old
No need for salvation,
My soul can be sold
I only want Ana,
To have and to hold.
